In Pride and Prejudice, Lady Catherine de Bourgh is regarded as an object of ridicule when she she suggests she might have been an excellent pianist if she had only been trained in the piano. It is an absurd arrogance. Yet on Page 37 of Bob Woodward's Rage no one would dare laugh at the equally ridiculous Donald Trump when he stated, "I would've been a great wrestler. I never wrestled in my life, but I would've been a great wrestler. You know why?" When the victim of his vanity asked why, Trump answered, "Because I'm tough." I guess Trump thinks all it takes to be a great opera singer is to be good at languages.
